Sorry I cant really help, but I understand your frustration. I had two Mini LST2's that exhibited this exact behavior. I even put one of the ESC's in a mini-t and it was the same. Losi didn't want to hear about it or help at all. In complete stock form it was like they were thermalling, but nothing got even close to warm. When I contacted losi they said "it sounds like it's thermalling, dont load it up, just be gentle with the throttle". Heh, what fun is that. Never heard from them again.
Castle are much better though, and have possibly best customer service I've ever experienced. Email them from their website and you should get a helpful response, at least they will be willing to discuss it or talk about it more than stupid losi were :(
Have you tried running in High power brushed mode? It may help.. you loose reverse though.
My mate had the same problem with his mlst2 but they replaced his esc.

Wow and your an Aussie too! I thought they only cared about their main customer base in the states Well I'm never buying Losi again now anyway, not that it matters to them. So far its HPI and Losi that don't see to give a sh!t about their customers...
